Jim, in the Porsche world, you'd update those 2.4 kids to a 3.2.

For those who ordered through Amazon, if you like the book, I'd be grateful if you could post a review on Amazon. Thanks.

It seems that The New York Times likes my book (he says with aplomb that masks his chattering knees). It's in the Automotive section, athttp://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/02/automobiles/adventuring-on-the-printed-page.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&hpw& on page 2. A full chapter excerpt is at 
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/02/automobiles/excerpt-hack-mechanic-rob-siegel.html?ref=automobiles. The review should be in the print version of the Times on Sunday.

Finished reading my copy last night.  There's certainly a lot more going on with Rob then he reveals in his Roundel articles.  I can certainly relate to some of the things written in the book.  

 

Glad I did not buy this Chamonix 72tii two years ago although I was very close to doing so.  Seller could not "find" the title which ended the deal.

Hey Rob, 

 

Love your book not too many out there than can provide very useful information with quite a few laughs. 

 

Please send me your wife's hairbrush, I need a few samples so I can clone her...

 

Cheers, and Happy Holiday's

1975 Malaga. It is rusty and  springs an occasional leak.  Just like me.
